Final answer:
The question cannot be answered accurately without additional information. To convert miles to feet, the number of miles should be multiplied by 5,280, but the exact distance of the Titanic from land is not provided in the question.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question 'If there are 5,280 feet in a mile, how many feet was the Titanic from land?' is seeking a numerical distance and it cannot be answered without additional information about the specific distance of the Titanic from land at a given moment. In general, to convert miles to feet, you multiply the number of miles by 5,280 feet, since that is the number of feet in one mile. This formula applies when you have a known distance in miles and wish to convert it to feet.
However, it is important to note that the original question does not provide a specific number of miles from land the Titanic was when it sank. Therefore, without the exact distance in miles, we cannot calculate the distance in feet. To provide an answer, more context or data is needed regarding the number of miles the Titanic was from land at a specified time.
